Seeing Nature Through a Camera Trap

Talk by Dr. Liz Kalies

The Nature Conservancy

Dr, Liz Kailes, Director of Science for the North Carolina Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, will talk about the organization’s use of camera traps on its preserves to track and monitor wildlife in North Carolina. These remote, motion-sensitive cameras reveal habitat use and behaviors of animals. At the Nature Conservancy, these cameras also show the effects of controlled burning and invasive species at our preserves, and help count the number of game species. Dr. Kalies will also talk about how to use these cameras on private property.
